In 2016 he cancelled some tour dates for health reasons, and in March 2017 he canceled performances for the rest of this year. "I've walked onstage with an abscessed tooth and as soon as you get out there, it goes away", the singer said in a 2015 interview with Dan Rather.

"Gregg Allman had a feeling for the blues very few ever have hard to believe that magnificent voice is stilled forever" - country legend Charlie Daniels.

After unfulfilling experiences with the music industry in Los Angeles, Gregg and Duane ended up in Macon, Georgia - hometown of Little Richard and Otis Redding - in 1969 and brought together the Allman Brothers Band.

Allman's manager, Michael Lehman, told NPR News Allman had suffered a recurrruence of liver cancer five years ago, and died from complications of the disease.

Maddi told WUSA9 she considered an abortion early on in her pregnancy. "For other girls going through this, yeah it's scary". But Hobbs said the school is standing its ground about the June 2 ceremony for Runkles' class of 15 students.

A 22-minute version of "Whipping Post" was a highlight of the group's popular 1971 live album "At Fillmore East".

A little more than a year later, bassist Berry Oakley was also killed in a motorcycle accident.

The Allman Brothers band reunited in 1989, three years after Allman's I'm No Angelsolo album.

Cher, to whom Allman was briefly married in the 1970s, reacted on Twitter Saturday afternoon. Albums "Eat a Peach" and "Brothers and Sisters" were huge critical and commercial successes, spawning such radio hits as "Melissa", "Blue Sky" and "Ramblin' Man", and the band's live shows drew raves. Gregg Allman alienated bandmates when he testified against a band employee on trial for drug charges, and the Allman Brothers split up in 1976.

As a member of the band he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

"I have lost a dear friend and the world has lost a brilliant pioneer in music", Lehman wrote. The singer is survived by his wife Shannon and his children, Devon, ElijahBlue, DelilahIslandKurtom and LaylaBrooklynAllman.
